The primary audience of this book is Unix administrators who need to support PCs on their network, and anyone who needs to provide a Unix server in a PC environment. But we don’t want to burden you with an endless series of arcane system administration tools and vocabulary. While we assume you are familiar with basic Unix system administration, we will not assume you are a networking expert. We’ll do our best along the way to help out with unusual definitions and terms.
Because we don’t assume a tremendous amount of experience with Microsoft Windows, we will go through the PC side of the installation task in considerable detail and give examples for both Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, which are subtly different. For the Unix side, we will give examples for common Unix operating systems, such as Linux 2.0 or Solaris 2.6.
